Simple Things

Thank you for your interest in my photos. All images are available as prints. Look for the BUY button in bottom right of the picture.

The Sweet Simple Things Collection is part of my growing Distressed Collection of prints.

The wall art in the Simple Things Collection boils down to words that were best spoken by Laura Ingalls Wilder – It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

The distressed print collection has my shabby-chic, country and cottage style home decor friends in mind.

Shabby chic furnishings are often heavily painted through the years, with many layers showing obviously time-worn areas.

The style is imitated in faux painting using glaze or by painting then rubbing and sanding away the top coat to show the wood or base coats, known as “distressing” the finish of the furniture. The photography prints are created using the same manner

“Embrace the creativity and don't care about the result. It's better to be a beginner till the end of the life than waiting forever to be perfect.”

Life is Made Up of Moments

“Life is made up of Moments. Moments create Days, days create Months, months create Years, years create LIFE. Lose the Moment and you lose Life.”

"Self-censorship is more efficient than any police.. You write and say not what you really think, but what you believe is acceptable, by that process we lose those revolutionary ideas that could change society for the better”

You Are Not Alone

“Take this treasure,
Leave one of your own,
And remember this truth:
You are not alone.”

― Elaine Vickers, Like Magic

The Truly Precious Gifts Cannot be Held.

“The key to understanding if something is truly precious is to ask if we can hold it, for things truly precious cannot be held.”

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

Resisted by Millions of Tiny Crystals

“I was being resisted by millions of tiny crystals, I knew, but the strength of their chemical bonds was enormous. If all of us could be like snow, I thought, how happy we should be.”

“If you treat an individual as he/she is, he/she will remain how he/she is. But if you treat him as if he were what he/she ought to be and could be, he/she will become what he ought to be and could be.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I'd Still Plant My Apple Tree

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.” ― Martin Luther.

Rows and rows of blossoms, soon to be rows and rows of cherries. The blossoms bring out groups of tourists to see the sites and enjoy everything the peninsula has to offer.

Feather Fine Art Print Foggy morning but decided to get my walk in anyway. The fog was thick and wet. Making the grass uncomfortable to walk in with my tennis shoes. The pathway through the woods was the choice today.
